The University Hospital

Opening in 1823 as the country’s first teaching hospital, the mission of the University Hospital was to provide care for the aged, indigent and orphaned. Today, this mission continues. University Hospital has an international reputation, bringing thousands of people, from the region and around the world, to Cincinnati to receive care from world-renowned physicians in state-of-the-art medical facilities.

Many physicians at University Hospital are also faculty physicians at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, one of the top 50 medical schools in the country. These physicians have access to the latest technological procedures and clinical trial medications, ensuring the best quality of care for our patients. This tradition of excellence consistently places it among the nation’s best in the prestigious U.S. News & World Report annual guide to “America’s Best Hospitals.”

University Hospital, in conjunction with the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center, claims many firsts including Albert Sabin’s development of the polio vaccine and the country’s first training program for emergency medicine physicians.
